Lyrics

Well, he was fueled by a lack
Drew inspiration from a need
So many problems to crack
And mouths to feed
Crooked was the path
And brazen was the walk
A cocky swagger, up the ladder
And could he ever talk
The last hurrah? Nah, I'd do it again
The Rascal King behind the bars or the one in front of them
The last hurrah? Nah, I'd do it again
The Rascal King behind the bars or the one in front of them
The love of God
And constant contradictions
With just a smile, wink and nod
What's stranger? Fact or fiction?
And never ceasing to amaze
On a regular basis
First hand into his pocket
Or first fist into the faces
And it's the last hurrah? Nah, I'd do it again
The Rascal King behind the bars or the one in front of them
The last hurrah? Nah, I'd do it again
The Rascal King behind the bars or the one in front of them
Come on, boys
A legendary character
Where? Only there
When? Only then (I'd do it again)
A hero or a hooligan?
Well, that part's never clear (I'd do it again)
Pride or shame, it's all the same (I'd do it again)
Who's innocent and who's to blame? (I'd do it again)
Politics or just a game?
Well, in the end, they knew his name
The last hurrah? Nah, I'd do it again
It's he Rascal King behind the bars or the one in front of them
Well, it's the last hurrah? Nah, I'd do it again
And it's the Rascal King behind the bars or the one in front of them
